@stephietan this is why I choose to almost never fly MAS, as long as I have a choice in the matter. AirAsia or SIA ftw!
@thechannelc c: phone memory is 100meg i think e: mass memory is remaining. Filemgr says free: c: 21.5mb e: 29.4gb. I store most in e:
@thechannelc The phone comes with 32GB of it :P If thats not enough, you can go buy yourself a memory card. Kinda too much storage
@thechannelc three different drives - phone memory, a mass memory storage area, and your memory card if you have one
@nesarajah good luck with the 3g that mostly doesn't work ;) i moved away from maxis

Digi edge might be reliable, but uploading a one meg photo from the N97 shows 3g/hsdpa rocks so much harder
Is there a Malaysian publication (newspaper, magazine, online/offline) that does *investigative journalism*?
@brianaker 1password, while 3rd party, is apparently the solution

Just upgraded to Firefox 3.5. No sign of Y!Slow. Is Page Speed http://code.google.com/speed... the new alternative?
The Altimeter by Charlene Li: Would you invite 16 bloggers to spend 24 hours with your company? The Navy did. - http://blog.altimetergroup.com/2009...
Interesting way for the US Navy to get the message out, as to what they do - Colin Charles
Happy Planet Index http://www.happyplanetindex.org/ [as seen on BBC News even - interesting stuff & methodology - "sustainable happiness"]
@l33tdawg Where be the drivers? Nah, never got it working natively on fbsd/linux. Was planning to write drivers, but time hasn't been kind
@chingyen Happy birthday!
@l33tdawg I just did it via a virtual machine. Osx itself, lacks drivers. I blogged the virtual machine experience
In selayang. This is another world, alright. #digi seems a bit dodgy here, some missed calls.

@TheBackpackr Nah, haven't been yet. I called up machines, and also looked at their website. Should i go to discoveryweek?
"The fund for open source *companies* not *communities*, in your press releases. Or have I misread? "He said the government has allocated RM10 million to help open source companies. "The fund, to be used for research and development, training as well as promotional purposes, will hopefully be disbursed by early fourth quarter of this year," he said." And Rafe, even if I wanted a piece of the pie, I'm sure I will not be eligible to get it. 1) I'm not your crony 2) you and I just don't see eye to eye 3) I'm not a son of the soil. Or are you telling me I should go access pieces of the pie? I love constructive criticism. In fact, I'm happy to change for you, and work with you, and make you (and your work) shine. Pills not required. But wait, you don't want that, do you? Ball is in your court, I've just offered to constructively work _with_ you." - Colin Charles

"Hello Rafe, Read the paragraph again. Then re-read it. Did I mention you Rafe? Did I mention MDeC? It seems like a case of 'if the shoe fits', doesn't it? But now that you mention it... My interest in it, is that its not disbursed to companies that have no open source interest, but are interested in living lifestyles, that are funded by the rakyat. If you build a framework that is to contribute to the whole industry and community, don't forget that you need to *involve* the industry and community. Building it on an island, is doomed to failure, and the program will only benefit certain cronies. Unlike you, I have experience building communities and frameworks, that are successful, and are around till today. You want me to stop bitching? Why not use my energies in a positive manner. Involve the industry and community. Stop relying on cronyism. Eat the pill, that is constructive criticism. Cut out the emotion. And that's your problem Rafe. You believe that things are best done behind..." - Colin Charles
@ShaolinTiger Read the book too. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is simply amazing!
